Dog Food Portion Calculator

Enter your dog's size, weight, life stage and neutering status and this returns a daily calorie range, then converts it into an amount of the food you actually feed.

How the amount is worked out

• Calories come from the resting energy requirement scaled by life stage, neutering and activity, following AAHA life stages and the Tufts/WSAVA energy approach.
• Pick your exact product and grams and cups are calculated from that food's own calorie density.
• If the product is not in the database, an average density for that food type is used and the result is labelled as an approximation.
• Enter what you feed today and the result is compared against it, rather than just handed to you.

This is a starting estimate for a healthy adult or growing dog. It is not a veterinary prescription: dogs with medical conditions, and dogs whose weight is moving in the wrong direction, need a plan from their own vet.
